Yeah, the nozzles can survive a little bit of scrape-off like that, but it can change the orifice geometry so just be aware. What model/make of machine/hot end do you have, if you don’t mind my asking? The cheap Ender-style PTFE-lined hot ends are pretty intolerant to just nozzle swaps, and if you have one of those, I have some videos I recommend watching so you know how to rebuild it properly should you ever need to again.
Thanks! It’s a CR10S. Stock Bowden setup, aside from me adding a BL Touch.
One of these days, I’m planning to rebuild the whole assembly into a direct drive extruder… Any day now… Yup. Not like I’ve got half the parts printed out and assembled and sitting in drawer for a year… 😁
Anyway, Happy to watch anything you care to recommend for sure! I’m planning to swap this nozzle out again pretty soon.
I have an Ender 5 Pro and the CR10S. I usually keep a 1mm nozzle on the CR10S and use it for large prints where I just want to throw plastic out as fast as possible. Lately, though I’ve been printing a fuckton of 28mm minis for an upcoming game, so fine nozzles on both!
Thanks for the detail!
Fortunately, in this case I was using a brand new, low-quality nozzle I don’t really care about.
After this, I did indeed notice that I hadn’t tightened the nozzle fully tight and I had some mild “drizzle” escaping down the side.
Since then, I’ve
and… It’s printing fine again.
Even the nozzle was alright… entirely due to dumb luck. 🤦
